From Mendocino County Public Broadcasting, this is the KZYX News for Monday, March 10th, I’m Elise Cox. CAL FIRE recently expanded the fire hazard severity zones for all of Mendocino County. By far the biggest impact of the reclassification is in Ukiah. According to CAL FIRE the majority of homes on the west side of the city are in a very high fire hazard severity zone. The change comes as the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority grapples with rising costs and increasing call volumes.
